NAME

       showmount - show mount information for an NFS server

SYNOPSIS

       showmount [ -adehv ] [ --all ] [ --directories ] [ --exports ] [ --help ] [ --version ] [ host ]

DESCRIPTION

       showmount  queries  the	mount  daemon on a remote host for information about the state of the NFS server on that machine.  With no options
       showmount lists the set of clients who are mounting from that host.  The output from showmount is designed to appear as though it were pro-
       cessed through ``sort -u''.

OPTIONS

       -a or --all
	      List  both  the client hostname or IP address and mounted directory in host:dir format. This info should not be considered reliable.
	      See the notes on rmtab in rpc.mountd(8).

       -d or --directories
	      List only the directories mounted by some client.

       -e or --exports
	      Show the NFS server's export list.

       -h or --help
	      Provide a short help summary.

       -v or --version
	      Report the current version number of the program.

       --no-headers
	      Suppress the descriptive headings from the output.

BUGS

       The completeness and accuracy of the information that showmount displays varies according to the NFS server's implementation.

       Because showmount sorts and uniqs the output, it is impossible to determine from the output whether a client is mounting the same directory
       more than once.
